Justin Timberlake is ‘Absolutely’ up for a Britney Spears Collaboration

It’s been 14 years since Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake’s young love captured the imagination of a generation. While the pair have since spun off in different romantic and professional directions, JT has confirmed there may be hope for a reunion… in the studio.

Earlier this year, Spears described Timberlake as “very good” when rattling off some of her favorite pop artists; She also had nice things to say about Aerosmith and Gwen Stefani. An E! News reporter retold the story to Justin as an invitation to collaborate (which it wasn’t, exactly) and he replied “She did? Sure! Absolutely, absolutely.”

“I have a 17 month old so I don’t get the headline news,” he added. “I apologize for not being in the know…I’m accessible, give us a call!”
